Q: i had knee surgery in july 2022 they did a block. my foot is still numb. is that normal?

: Persistent foot numbness more than 6 months after a knee surgery with spinal anesthesia is not normal but it may or may not be related with the regional nerve block. You should see a neurologist who may figure out the etiology.
